Sniff, sniff, I smell something...... funny, my last job in Special Forces was working at SF Command and one of my duties was silly "counter-terrorism" related stuff. You know it's crazy I've never heard of Rafael Conde and from his website he sure knows us......
Hey Rafael, what exactly is the "
Executive Defense Agency"????
And how does one instruct "counter-terrorism tactics" with no formal counter-terrorism training?

Shortly after the Gulf War, Conde was recruited by a British Private Military Contractor (PMC) working with the U.S. Department of Defense. He entered a specialized program, training with British Special Air Service (SAS), U.S. Navy SEALs and U.S.
Army Green Berets. The training included
Counter Terrorist Tactics, CQB, Waterborne Operations, Tactical Firearms and Force Protection. Conde was promoted to Chief Agent for the South America Region. His team's job consisted of intelligence gathering in support of "Operation Centra Spike" and high risk protection in Colombia, Brazil, Bolivia and Honduras. As a team leader he led three classified high risk/high profile protective operations in South America. Two of the operations were inside the jungles of Colombia and Brazil. Conde was then assigned to the instructor cadre specializing in CQB, Hand to Hand Combat and Tactical Firearms. At that time he also introduced tactical training to several armored truck transport companies in the U.S., South America and Canada. Among over one hundred certifications and commendations, Conde is also certified as a Law Enforcement Firearms Instructor and a Law Enforcement Defensive Tactics Instructor. His articles have been published world wide. Conde is recognized as an expert in the use of firearms, hand to hand combat, edge weapons and domestic terrorism. He has testified as an expert witness in state and federal court. Conde is currently a decorated LE Agent and S.W.A.T. operator engaged in the battle against narcotics and narco trafficking. He is cross designated with (ICE) U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Blue Lightning Task Force. Daily he is called upon to use his training, skills and mindset. Conde is also the founder of CombatAiki Concepts.
